What This Session Covers
In this session, we’ll explore:
- What institutions should consider before migrating a curriculum management platform
- How to minimize disruption to faculty, curriculum teams, and IT during transition
- Why data integrity, version history, and governance must be protected throughout migration
- What successful migration planning looks like and where projects commonly break down
- How articulation, ASSIST, CCN, and AB1111 are impacted by platform decisions
- Why ease of implementation, faculty usability, and workflow flexibility matter more than ever
- How institutions are positioning their academic operations for future demands

Why This Matters Now
Many institutions are being prompted to consider platform changes, sometimes on accelerated timelines. Without the right preparation, these transitions can introduce unnecessary risk and long-term inefficiency.
This session will help you answer critical questions, including:
- How do we migrate without losing trust from faculty and articulation teams?
- What should our platform support over the next 5–10 years, not just this transition?
- How do we evaluate vendors through the lens of governance, articulation, and sustainability?
- What questions should we be asking before we move forward?
If a curriculum platform migration is on your horizon, this conversation will help you move forward with clarity and confidence.
